# Help My Loved One

> An independent Canadian educational and treatment-navigation resource for families and friends of people struggling with addiction (helpmylovedone.ca). Everything is written in plain language; the private reflection ("Am I enabling?") is an educational conversation-starter, never a clinical instrument, and it runs entirely in the browser and stores nothing. One truth stated up front on every guide: an adult cannot be forced into treatment in Canada — the site teaches what does work (the ready plan, the CRAFT approach, boundaries that stop funding the harm). The service is free for families: with express consent we introduce the enquiring family member to up to 3 matched licensed treatment providers, who pay flat marketing fees for introductions — never per-admission. Facility phone numbers and program prices are intentionally not published; connection happens through the site with consent. In a crisis, people should call or text 988 (Suicide Crisis Helpline, Canada) or call 911; young people can call Kids Help Phone at 1-800-668-6868. Part of the Rehab Near Me network of independent recovery resources, which share one consent-gated connection service. We are not affiliated with Al-Anon Family Groups, Nar-Anon, Families Anonymous, Co-Dependents Anonymous, or any fellowship named on the site.

## Start here
- [Am I enabling? — the private reflection](https://helpmylovedone.ca/assessment): 12 plain-language questions on where helping ends and enabling begins; runs in-browser, nothing stored, not a clinical instrument
- [Find the right help — 2-minute match](https://helpmylovedone.ca/match): a short questionnaire (who you're worried about, urgency, province, funding) ending in a consented, single warm introduction — the callback goes to the family member
- [Talk to us](https://helpmylovedone.ca/get-help): direct consented callback form

## Understand it
- [Get them help — the treatment routes](https://helpmylovedone.ca/programs): the kinds of Canadian help that exist for getting a loved one into treatment — the publicly funded route, CRAFT, detox, residential, outpatient, concurrent-disorders care, family counselling, peer support (no prices, no facility phone numbers)
- [Al-Anon, Nar-Anon & support for you](https://helpmylovedone.ca/pathways): plain-language, independent descriptions of Al-Anon, Nar-Anon, Families Anonymous, CoDA, SMART Recovery Family & Friends, and Alateen/Narateen, with official meeting-finder links (meetings are free; we are not affiliated with any fellowship)
- [Getting them in — the family playbook](https://helpmylovedone.ca/guide): have the plan ready before they're willing, pick the moment for one small ask, and stay strategically close (CRAFT) when the answer is no
- [Crisis & family resources](https://helpmylovedone.ca/resources): verified crisis lines incl. 988, Kids Help Phone (1-800-668-6868), and Ontario's ConnexOntario navigation line (talks to families too), plus Al-Anon, Nar-Anon, Families Anonymous, and CoDA
